An interesting communication hat been
mafic by u jihysici inf the rlmrilc Hos
pital, Doctor I.u\ , to tin l Mfilictl Ho
i-ietv of tlio Paris Hospital*, on tin* pnr
ticular form of | iralysi* known no Bt.
Vitus’s Dance, i tctor Luyssaifi:
“j lirescut to ,iio Society a pntient,
forty-four years of ajte, who for four
years was subject to paralytic iqfitAUte,
until it occurred to me to try on biiu
rays of rotating mirrors, or the springe*
used for luring larks. The experiment
was not only absolutely harmless, but it
was authorized by the fact that all treat
ment employed until then by a number
of my colleagues in the hospitals bad
failed.
“When T first saw the patient, Jan
uary 5, 1889, hts morbid condition had
all the most typical characteristics of pa
ralysie agitante (St. Vitus’s Dance). Be
sides the characteristic trembling of the
hands, there was n general quivering of
the trunk, rigidity of the muscles of the
neck, which, by a sort of torticolis, kept
the bead motionless on th‘e spinal col
umn. The features were immobile and
plastered to the bony subjacent skeleton
without any apparent folds. Tbe patient
was absolutely unable to earry n cup to
his lips or to eat ids soup; he could not
even button his clothes without assist
ance, nor could he write; for four years
it hail been impossible for him to write
his name. His speech was confused and
jerky; he was also troubled with contin
ual headache.
“Hypnotic treatment with rotating
mirrors was at ouce commenced. During
eight consecutive days the patient was
made to ggze fixedly at the moving mir
rors twenty to thirty minutes
at a During this time his ruse pre
sented no apparent modifications, but
after the eighth trial of tin: treatment an
improvement showed itself in his condi
tion, in a diminution of the trembling of
the hands and a less acute cepltalagie.
After the fourteenth day tlio improve
ment had made considerable progress;
the rigidity of the neck had disappeared,
the features had recovered their natural
aspect and color, his speech had become
normal, and the trembling of the hands
had diminished to such a point that the
patient could carry a tumbler half filled
with water to his mouth, while previous
ly he had been obliged, in older to drink
unaided, to place the glass on a chair
and get down on his knees so us to take
it between bis lips.
“At the end of three weeks’ treatment,
the patient had sufficiently improved to
ask permission to leave the hospital and
to resume his w ork. I induced him to
prolong his stay in order to complete the
treatment, and now, at the end of about
three mouths, I consider that he is cured.
“It is an interesting fact that a morbid
condition of such long standing and one
which is considered ns incurable, should
have been so rapidly cured by the mere
physical action of mirrors in rotation
placed before the eyes of the patient. Ho
verbal hypnotic suggestion was made to
the patient during the first days of the
treatment; it was only toward its close,
when the progress toward a cure was well
marked, that some suggestions to cease
trembling were made to him. Asa matter
of fact, the really efficacious action of
this treatment belongs entirely to the
Btrange influence first upon the eyes, and
then on the nervous centres, of the vibra
tions of rays of light acting in a succes
sive and rapid way.”
Daniel Boone’s Interesting Comrade.
John L. P. McCune, who was the old
est man in Clark County, Ind., died re
cently at the home of his daughter, Mrs.
C. C. White, at Charlestown. He was a
native of Jessamine County,in Kentucky,
and was born March 5, 1793. He served
in the War of 1813. He participated in
the battle of Tippecanoe, and was in the
fight at Thames, October 15, 1813,where
lie saw Tetumseh fall. With Daniel Boone
he was on the most intimate terms of ac
quaintance, mid made many Indian raids
with him. After settling at Charlestown
he learned the trade of slioemaking and
followed it for a living, making footwear
for many orf the most famous lawyers,
judges, doctors and other professional
inen of the early history of Indiana. When
General William Henry Harrison visited
Charlestown Mr. McCune, who had heard
of his coming in udvance, made an ex
ceedingly fine pair of bootsfor him, which
were presented to the old warrior.
In his day Mr. McCune was a great
fiddler, and upon a still evening the notes
from liis violin eouM be heard all over
the town, as he sat in his front door play
ing upon his favorite instrument. He was
a familiar figure at the annual meeting of
the old settlers, and was always down on
the programme for an exhibition of his
skill on the violin. At these gatherings
he invariably played two pieces, which
were his favorites, “Washington’s Wed
ding March’’ and “Martha Washington’s
Lamentations.” At the meeting last fall
he attempted to carry out his part,but his
strength had so f ' 1 him that only the
faintest sound couid be heard as his stiff
ened arm drew the bow across the strings
of his fiddle.
A few years sin ’e his wife died. This
was a great shoe! to him, and so sure was
he that he would oon follow that he made
all preparations for his death, even to
buying and havii g set up his tombstone,
with all the eng: .ring done upon it but
the date of his d< atli. It is located in the
extreme western portion of the Charles
town Cemetery, and attracts the eye of
every stranger ho enters the ground.
The peculiar pari of it is a small type of
Mr. McCune, which is surrounded by a
glass-covered fra.ne and setin the marble.
He is dressed in liis shop garb, and on his
knee is a partial .. mended shoe, while in
his hand is a hammer. The peculiar atti
tude and the fact that a live man had his
picture adomin; tlie tombstone which
was to mark ills grave was frequently
commented on.—New York Sun.
A Pianist’s Peculiar Hair.
Now that Dr. Hans Yon Bulow, the
piano player, has closed his musical tour
in America with a balance of some $12,-
000 to his credit, a curious story is
quietly current about him. Dr. Van
Bulow, as people familiar with his ap
pearance know, wears his hair long and
thin on the top of his bold and some
what bald head. Over his dreamy eyes
and mobile brows this sparse hut silky
thatch waves at times with an odd effect.
A curious story was told by a barber who
shaved Dr. Von Bulow. The barber
avowed that the great" pianist’s top hair
was so musically electric that when
combed with gutta-percha it stood up
and emitted a singular, soft, humming
sound in which an initiate might trace
divine melodies. Everybody who heard j
the tale was seized at once of an earnest !
desire to possess one of Dr. Von Bulow’s
musical hairs. As the consequence of
gratifying this multifarious desire would
be entirely depilatory, as well as disas
trous to himself, Dr. Von Bulow, rumer
has it, has so far positively refused to
pari with a single strand. —New York

American l aud Owned by Allen*.
I Who owns the laud in the United
States! 'Vhy, the citizens do, or should
—would be the natural reply. But uu
fortunately, says the American Citisen, it
is not altogether so. Some of the best
lands in this country are owned by alien
landlords. Nearly twenty-two million
acres of land are owned by men who own
allegiance to other Government*. To be
exact, there are 21,241,900 acres of laud
under the direct control and management
of thirty foreign individuals or compan
ies. There are 2,720,283 acres of laud in
Massachusetts, so that the men living iu
other countries and owing allegiance to
other Powers own land enough to make
ten Htntcs like Massachusetts, more than
the whole of New England, more lund
than some Governments own to support a
King. The largest amount of land
owned i>y any one nmn or corporation is
owned by a foreign corporation called
the Holland Land Company. Talk
about alien landholders in Ireland, there
is twice as much land owned by aliens in
the United States as there is owned by
Englishmen in Ireland. Think of it;
more than 22.1h10.bt1b acre* of land
owned by men in Europe. Here is a list

He Courted the Old Ladies.
AY hen I)r. Einseli landed in Astrolabe
Bay, New Guinea, a while ago, be went
with an escort of sailors a short distance
inland, where he found buried in the for
rest a large village. The party was ac
companied by some of tiro village men
whose acquaintance they lrad cultivated
at the shore. The womeu, however,
were none tire less frightened at the
strange appearance of the visitors, and
ran off into the woods. A few old wo
men, however, who had been brave
enough to face tiie strangers, were re
warded with presents, and through their
efforts the other womeu were soon in
duced to return.
Dr. Einsch says that throughout his ex
plorations lie took particular pains to in
gratiate himself with the old women.
1 [e often found that they wielded import
ant influences, and their good will was
very helpful. He admits that he did not
always find it a particularly agreeable task
to win the favor of the older women, for
they arc not fair to look upon. But it
was to his interest to have all the old la
dies on his side, and so he put his best
foot forward to make them think he was
a very nice sort of a fellow.
Dr. Finsch advances one rather novel
idea about the women of uncivilized
tribes in tropical countries. He reports
the well-known fact that these women
lose their youth and freshness while still
young, but he adds that they would not
seem to fade so early in life if they wore
clothing and understood the arts of the
toilet with which women in other lands
long contrive to conceal advancing years
and artificially supply the charms they
have lost.
Air as Fuel.
The marvels of scientific discovery and
mechanical invention crowd upon latter
day nineteenth century folk in a manner
rivaling the play of kaleideoscopic
figures. One accepts, nowadays, what
he sees, as his fathers did of old, but,un
like them, he is not prepared to dispute
the possibility of anything within the
range of conception. One of the most
wonderful applications of human reason
in employing an essential element of the
universe for human purposes is that de
scribed in Bradstreet's , by Mr. Lorin
Blodgett, a well-known member of the
Franklin Institute, of Philadelphia.
This is nothing else than the proposed
use of atmospheric air as fuel. Airis mixed
with coal gas, as everyone knows, and
with hydro-carbon vapors, and the com
pound w hen burned generates a much
greater heat than if the air were absent.
So, too, a powerful air blast is a great
eeouomizer iu smelting and reducing ores.
But the new fuel is the air itself, which
in it pow erful blast is directed upon an
incandescent substance, say coal made
white hot, pure carbon or any other
materials that can be made to glow. Coal,
hydro-carbons or whatnot may be em
ployed to give the initial incandescence,
but once the blast strikes the luminous
body the utmost intensity of heat is
secured, apparently by the combustion of
the air, and may be maintained for an
indefinite period by merely preserving
the incandescence of the surface. And
this may be done by a slight manipula
tion of the surface brought to incan
descence, and with some slight renewal
of carbonaceous material.— Manufacturers'

An Elusive AA'ord Or,light.
A few days ago attaches of newspaper
offices in Milwaukee and elsewhere were
cudgeling their brains to think of three
English words of more than two sylla
bles ending in “cion.” It was said that
AV'illiam Henry Smith, the great mogul
of the Associated Press, had used the fa
cilities of that organization to secure as
sistance in bringing the three words to
light, though for w hat purpose nobody
knew. Every one who was enlisted in
the quest briskly mentioned “suspicion”
and “coercion” as two of the words, but
failed to find any elue to the third. Some
boldly declared that “scion” was the
only other word ending in “cion,” but
as “scion” contains but two syllables it
clearly wouldn’t meet the requirement.
Readers of the News who are asked if they
can name the words may respond;
Suspicion,
Coercion,
Interne cion.
“Internecion” means mutual slaughter.

Origin of Five O'clock Teas.
The Queen of England dines at 9
p. m., and the leading nobility follow
suit as nearly us possible and dine at 8:30,
although a few dine at the comparatively
early hour of 8 o’clock. It will be readily
seen that the much talked of and va
riously followed fashion of 5 o’clock teas
is a necessity in England, where it origi
nated, but in this country, where people
seldom dine later than 7 o'clock, says
someone in a New York newspaper, it is
a useless affectation whose influence is
felt in Jill society. Who, of the male sex
especially, does not abominate the crowded
rooms w here there is nothing to see and
little to eat that hostesses have lately
made do duty for more expensive enter
tainments. Indeed, the leader of fashion
who inaugurated 5 o’clock teas in New
York has much to answer for.— Fioarywm.

KILLING weeds.
There is no doubt but, that many far
mers find it more easy to tell how to de
arov weeds than it is to keep them down,
especially among the cultivated crops.
There is this fact, however, let the weeds
lie w here they may they are much easier
destroyed when they are small than at any
other time, and the longer they are al
lowed to grow tiie more difficult they be
come to eradicate, while if they are al
lowed to mature seed they will add ma
terially to the work of keeping the farm
clean. If the soil could always be in con
dition to work readily, it would be a much
easier matter to keep clean. But it is of
ten the case that in tiie spring especially,
the soil is so wet that it is next to impos
sible to work properly, uml as a conse
quence the weeds will get a good start.
Asa rule tiie majority of weeds grow
better in a moist soil, ami consequently
iu a wet season they make a good growth
at the expense of the cultivated crop.
So, also, the condition of the soil has
much to do with manner of cultivating
and keoping down the weeds. The har
row or cultivator can be used when tiie
soil is in good condition, but when the
season is wet so that the cultivation is de
layed, it is often the ease that some other
plan must he adopted. When the work
of cultivation can lie given at the proper
tiuse, there is no better implements to use
than tiie harrow followed by tbe cultiva
tor, tint if the work is delayed until after
the weeds get a good start, they will not
lie very effective, and it will be necessary
to use something that will turn them com
pletely under.
It would be difficult to suggest a plan
that could be considered best every sea
son, either as to the plan to be followed
or the implement to be used.
So far as possible tiie work should be
commenced as soon as the crop is planted,
before the weeds start. Cultivate as fre
quently as the condition of the soil and
other w ork of the farm will permit. The
season and the amount of work to be done
will often make a difference in the im
plement used and the manner of cultiva
tion. Of these the farmer must himself
be the judge.— Farm, Field and Stock

TRANSFERRING 13EE3.
Sptiug is the best time to transfei
bees from box hives to frames, and this
should he done before the regular honey
flow sets in. Asa rule I prefer to do
this work at the time of fruit blossoms,
when the bees are gathering their first
honey of the season. Tbe eoinbs are now
light, with less honey in them than at
any other time of the year, and there is
yet tiut a small amount of brood and bees.
The work of transferring iR therefore
lighter than at any time during the sum
mer. The task appears to the inexperi
enced to be quite a formidable under
taking, and is put off from time to time
and even from year to year. This iB a
great mistake. After once transferring
a colony the beginner wonders why the
bees were allowed to remain so long in
the old hives. First, adopt a proper
frame. It is about as difficult to change
from one kind of frame to another as
it was at first. There are several kinds
of frames to use and any one of them will
prove successful; among these are the
Langstroth, the Simplicity and the
Quimby. The Simplicity frame is 17f
inches long and 9} inches deep; the
new Quimby 104 inches long and 11$
inches deep; the Langstroth is nearly tiie
same as the Simplicity. The Simplicity
frame is used to a greater extent than any
other, but whatever frame is decided on
use that one exclusively.
A good bee smoker is needed so that
you can have full coutrol of the bees.
They should be smoked thoroughly be
fore operations begin and at frequent in
tervals before attempting to open tbe old
hive. This will allow ample time for
them to till themselves with honey, which
they never fail to do if thoroughly
Smoked. Turu the hive bottom side up,
tud with a cold chisel and hammer pry
open and cut the nails from two sides of
the hive. This will lay the combs bare
io that they may be reached conveniently.
Lay tiie frame to receive the combs flat
upon a board which has been previously
guttered out one-half by one-half inches
on every two inches of surface. This
will allow a wooden needle to pass under
the comb after it is fitted into the frame.
By this means a cord of hard twine is
drawn over the comb and around the en
tire frame and securely tied, spanning the
frame every two inches. After the
combs have all been removed, cut, fitted
and tightly bound into the frames, place
them carefully into the new frame Itive
hu<l raise the old hive, which contains
the majority of the bees. With a brush
of soft material or a stiff feather gently
remove the bees into the new hive or to
its entrance. In arranging the combs
place those containing the brood in the
center and see that the brood occupies a
compact mass in the hive. In a day or
two the bees will have fastened the combs
in the frames and will ultimately remove
the twine fastening. They cannot do
this if wooden strips or tin fastenings arc
used. Only combs that are straight
ihould be used; fill the remainder of th*
frames with foundation, which I would
recommend rather than crooked combs,
hut combs containing brood should all
he used. —American Agriculturist.
FARM AND GARDEN NOTES.
Don’t forget the dust bath.
Don’t plant corn that will not grow.
Be sure and test your corn before plant-
Ing.
Don’t plow the land when wet or
iticky.
One of the essentials of soiling is a
fertile soil.
Every farm ought to have its experi
mental patch.
Mix the dry horse manure with the
wet cow manure.
Oooked rice, fed cold, is good for
diarrhoea in chicks.
Don’t breed a draft mare to a trotter
or a thoroughbred.
Don’t feed sulphur to young chicks—it
produces leg weakness.
Hard-boiled eggs and eornmeal makes
i good first feed for ducklings.
Don’t breed to a misshapen, ungainly
1 >rse, even if he bus a long pedigree.
It is a mistaken idea that a hen's nest
ought to do duty a year without renew
ing.
The early killed is the easily killed
veed, and the weed that robs thc^erop
east.
HOUSEHOLD MATTERS.
TO MAKE COCOA.
Allow two teaapootiful* of the prepared
cocoa to one breakfast cup; lioiling milk
and boiling water. But the cocoa into a
breakfast cup, pour over it sufficient cold
milk to make it into u smooth paste; then
add equal quantities of boiling milk ami
boiling water, ami stir all well together.
Care must be taken not to allow the milk
Hi get burnt, as it will entirely S|siil the
flavor of the preparation, Tiie above di
rections are usually given for making the
pA'pared cocoa. The rock cocoa, or that
bought in a solid piece, should hescrupcd
and made iu tho same manner, take care
to rub down all the lumps before the boil
ing liquid is added. Two teuapuonfuls
of prepared cocoa for one breakfast cup,
or one-quarter ounce of the rock cocoa foi
the same quantity.
TOACHED EGGS WITH SAUCE.
Eggs ure best poached iu a deep frying
pan, three parts full of boiling water, to
which a tahlespoonful of strong vinegat
and a teuspoonful of salt has been added;
uimli muffin rings may be laid in tiie pan,
and each egg carefully broken into it.
Three minutes are usually enough to cook
them in gently boiling w ater. Blip a per
forated skimmer or cake turner under the
muffin ring and egg; lift both out to
gether and slip both on a half-slice of
buttered toast, then remove tiie ring; no
attempt should lie made to poach more
than two or three at a time, nor any but
very fresh eggs lie used.
Make a sauce as follows:
Melt a tahlespoonful of butter and ont
of Hour over the fire till they bubble;
pour half a pint of hot milk quickly to it,
stirring well ail the time till it boils; have
ready a tcaspoonful of very finely chopped
parsley and a half one of chives or a young
spring onion; add to the sauce with a
niltspoonful of salt; let them boil five
minutes, nnd pour it over the eggs and
toast. — Housewife.
ANGEL CAKE.
For angel cake take one cup of flour,
measured after oue sifting, and then
mixed with oue teuspoonful of cream ol
tartar and sifted four times. Beat the
whites of eleven eggs with a wire bentei
or perforated spoon until stiff and flaky.
Add one cup and a half of fine granu
lated sugar and beat again; add one tea
spoonful of vanilla or almond, then mix
iu the flour quickly and lightly. Line
the bottom and funnel of a cake pan with
paper hot greased, pour in the mixture
and bake about forty minutes. AVhen
done loosen the cake around the edge
and turn out at once. Some persons have
been more successful with this take by
mixing the sugar with the flour and cream
of tartar and adding all at once to the
beaten egg. Boiled icing is made with
one cup of granulated sugar, one-third of
a cup of boiling water, white of one egg
and one saltspoouful of cream of tartar.
Boil the sugar and.water without stirring
until the syrup taken up on a skewer will
“thread” or “rope.” AVhen it is nearly
at that point beat the egg stiff, add the
cream of tartar, and pour the boiling
syrup over the egg in a fine stream, beat
ing well. When it thickens and is per
fectly smooth, pour it over the cake. It
hardens quickly, and should be put on
the cake before it stiffens enough to drop,

FLANK OF BEEF.
This cheap piece, costing six or eighl
cents per pound, is excellent if properly
cooked. It weighs about four and a
half pounds. After it comes from the
hands of the butcher lay it out on the
table, and with a sharp knife remove all
the skin and most of tiie fat which ad
heres. Sprinkle it on both sides with
salt and pepper, and lay over four or five
very thin slices of fat salt pork; roll up
tightly aud tie with two bands of soft
old muslin. Put a little butter or dripping
in a pot large enough to contain it easily,
and when the butter or dripping is hot
lay in the roll to brown on all sides; then
add a pint of boiling water, and stand it
where it will simmer until very tender—
three hours or more. There is no danger
of its being too tender. Lay on a hot
dish and thicken the brown gravy which
is in the pot, sending it to the table in
a sauce boat. The meat is carved like
jelly cake in thin downward slices. The
next day it may be heated by steaming and
served with a tomato sauce. It is nice
sliced cold or made into minces. Some
times a cupful of dressing made of minced
onion, bread crumbs, butter and seasoning
is spread over the meat instead of the
slices of pork. It may be decorated and
turned into an elegant company dish by
sticking small skewers (about four) into
it after it is done, the skewers being
strung with alternate stoned olives and
canned mushrooms that have been
simmered for ten minutes in the gravy.
In this ease serve a mushroom sauce with
it, aud pass a couple of olives and mush
rooms to each person. —American Agri
culturist

nothing so sensitive as butter.
To remove egg stains from silver
spoons, take a little common salt between
the thumb and finger and rub the stain
briskly. Then wash in hot suds.
If the eyes are glued together on wak

CO-OrEHATIVK MAIDS.
The New York plan, becoming com
mon among society woman, of having
co-operative maids, is one not only de
serving of commendation, but worthy of
introduction and adoption here. It
mean, simply this: That all ladies who
find it too expensive to employ a domestic
devoted to their exclusive personal ser
vice shall unite in groups of six in
securing the time of a competent efficient
attendant. This woman, who must lie
thoroughly trained in every detail of
toilet necessities, gives one day in each
week to her patrons in turn. For in
stance : Every Monday she goes bright
nnd early to Mrs. A, and begins her du
ties by overlooking tiie lady’s entire
wardrobe. Gowns are brushed, loops re
tacked, fresh ruchiug basted in the neck
and sleeves of those needing that atten
tion, every particle of dust and stain re
moved and the costumes replaced where
they may be found at an instant’s notice.
Glove boxes, stocking drawers and shoe
bags are carefully reviewed in like man
ner, arnioirs and bureau receptacles sys
tematically rearanged, and then comes
the thorough eleansiug of brushes, combs,
etc., followed by the clipping of my
lady's locks, shampooing her head and
dressing her hair for the day. Nails are
manicured and a fine grooming given the
mistress, by which time the busy society
devotee feels as if slie hail been made
over anew. With a moderately careful
woman tiiis righting up once a week
keeps her in pretty fair condition till
Monday comes around again. All this
wonderful comfort and convenience can
be obtained for a couple of dollars a
week. With six customers the maid has
done a thriving business, and every one
concerned is made happy by the co-opera
tive arrangement. —New Orleans Times.

HANNAH SNELL, THE AMAZON.
Hannah Snell flourished in the reign
of George 11. Her grandfather was a
soldier who fought with Malplaquet.
She married early, her husband being s
Dutch sailor, who maltreated and de
serted her, leaving her with a baby,
which died, whereupon Hannah appro
priated a suit of her brother-in-law’a
clothes, and assuming his name, which
was Thomas Grey, enlisted in General
Gurse’s regiment. After a while site
deserted, but subsequently re-enlisted in
the navy as a marine, in which capacity
she served in the East and West Indies.
From her dexterity in washing and mend
ing for the men, and from her being
beardless, she acquired the nickname oi
“Miss Molly;” but her bravery in action
eventually caused her to be invested with
the more honorable cognomen of “Hearty
Jenny.”
Being at last discharged from the ser
vice—during all this time her sex wai
undiscovered—Hannah Snell went on the
stage, and appeared with much applause
as Bill Bobstay, a sailor, and as Firelock,
a grenadier. In consideration of the
hardships she hud undergone in the ser
vice of her country—which hardships
comprised, among other tribulations, 500
lashes that she got at the halberts, and
an almost equally barbarous scourging at
the gangway on board ship—the Govern
ment awarded Hannah a pension of SIOO
a year, on the strength of which she took
a public house iu London, with the ap
propriate sign of “Tiie Widow in Mas
querade; or, the Female Warrior.”
FASHION NOTES.
Straw hats are just now r on top.
Old-fashioned barege is again stylish.
It is rumored that we are coming back
to powdered hair.
Frieze has now all textures, all colors
all garments for its ow'n.
Riding habits should now lie made of
light gray to be in perfect style.
Black may now be worn with any
color and every tint or shade, from the
palest to the deepest.
The gowns exhibit every imaginable
form of sleeve. Some of tiie designs are
too peculiar to be pretty.
Ladies have forgotten all about the
word (esthetic .since the names Directoire
and Empire have come into use.
Train dresses are turned down half a
yard at tiie top in the back to give a
slight fullness just below the waist.
Very broad ruffles of lace turn ovei
from the necks of evening dresses and
form the trimming and even the sleeves.
Many new T shades of green have been
brought out as rivals to the still fashion
able Empire green of brightest emerald
hue.
The new high-necked bodice, which
has made its appearance at Queen Victo
ria’s drawingroom,is called “The Nurem
burg.”
The Directoire “coat” of the passing
season is a moded repetition of the coat
worn by Charles Surface, in the “School
for Scandal.”
Next in favor to green come shades ol
red-brown, dull brick, terracotta and
Egyptian red,which are seen in both dark
and light shades.
Two or three rows of Irish lace inser
tion let into the petticoats of wash
dresses serve as the only trimming except
that on the yoke and sleeve.
Edible Flowers.
The flowers of an Indian tree, the
Mohwa, are mentioned by Mr. P. L.
Simmonds, F. L. S., as being most re
markable on account of their large pro
portion of sugar, which reaches 63J pet
cent. They fall off and cover the ground,
a single tree yielding many hundred
weights of corollas. These form—both
fresh and dried—a staple of “food in many
places, and, as a rule, are eaten once oi
twice a day by the poorer classes of the
wild tribes of Central India and in parts
of Kajpootana, Bombay and Bengal.
A Shaving Match.
At King’s Road, Chelsea, England, a*
extraordinary shaving match recently took
place. Mr. Wick, champion barber,
backed himself to shave fifty persons in
sixty minutes for $75 a side. He actually
shaved seventy-seven persons iu fifty-nina
minutes and fifty-three seconds. The
shaved men were customers who eagerly
availed themselves of a free shave and a
cigar. —London Orqphic,

Queer Tilings From Lower California
George MacLaren, an old Forty-niner,
who has prospected for gold all over
California, has just returned to San Fran
cisco from the Santa Clara district ol
Lower California. MacLaren says he
didn’t get much gold, but as a naturalist
lie found enougti to interest him down
there. He brought back the meanest
looking specimen of the lizard tribe that
ever was seen. It is something like a
Gila monster, but worse. The natives
call it a man eater, because it goes aftei
them open mouthed, but as it is only fif
teen inches, probably it doesn’t eat peo
ple. It is mottled in yellow and brown,
has wicked black eyes, and pointed teeth,
and the Indians declare that its bite is
sure death. As MacLaren has not yet
been bitten by the lizard, lie doesn’t
know whether the Indians are liars or not.
To avoid mistakes he handles tiie reptile
with wooden tongs, and he has to be
careful about it, because tiie lizard is
built in sections, is brittle as glass, and
comes apart easily.
The old gentleman is very proud of his
prize, because the maneater is a rare rep
tile. It is found in dark, brushy places,
just after the first rains, anil MacLaren
hunted a long time before he found s
perfect specimen. He also brought up a
lot of tarantulas of anew breed anil r
box full of funuy bugs, which he says
are worth about six bits apiece. He cap
tured enough live stock and corpses ol
that kind to make a profit ot $250 on hit
trip. —New York Sun.
Doorplates Out of Fashion.
“Tiie doorplate is a thing of the past,
said a young man whoSe firm carried f
full line of these out-of-date signs it
stock, to a San Francisco Chronicle young
man: “It is seldom now that we have a
call for a doorplate for a private house,
unless it is for a doctor or a dentist. 1
speak of this city, of course, as the door
plate still goes iu the country towns.
There the larger the doorplate the bigger
the possessor's income. But here in town
the doorplate has passed into a state ol
innocuous desuetude. We still have calls
for the plated numbers tor doors, though
the numbered transom is crowding these
out, for the reason that transom numbers
are visible at night as well as during the
day to the passers-by. I don’t know
what we will do with our doorplate stock.
People don’t like them because they give
too good a cue to peddlers and beggars,
who can ask for the lady of house by
name and secure an audience with her.”
A pleasant story is told at San Fran
cisco of the Mexican President. The
Spanish Opera Company recently found
itself in distress in that city. The prin
cipals hml enough money to get hack to
Mexico, but the musicians and the
chorus people were stranded. It seems
that one of tin* musicians was something
of a poet, anil lie had dedicated some
verses once or twice to Mailame Diaz.
She was very much pleased with tlio
compliment and told him if she could
ever serve him in any difficulty she would
be happy toilo it, Ac recalled her prom -
ise in the straits he was in, and he tele
graphed tiie facts to tiie President’s
wife. He asked her if she could assist
toe poor opera people to go back to Mex
ico. Immediately a telegram came from
that kind lady authorizing them to be
sent home at her expense, said to be
some $3,000,

would habitually rest in th • sea breeze
along the inner or bay coast, between
thirty and fifty feet above the water, fac
ing the wind for hours at a time on mo
tionless wings. They were birds of
from four to six pounds weight, with an
equal number of square feet of wing sur
face. I watched a score of them on one
occasion for fourteen consecutive hours,
during which time not udozen flaps were
made for each bird. If a bird can 11 >at
indefinitely iu calm air without using
muscular exertion, being for mechanical
purposes as rigid as aboard, then a board
or metal body of tiie right simps and po

The professor said that nothing was n*-.

Georgias Prosperity.
Some carefully compiled statistics
bearing on the progress and prosperity
of Georgia, are of the most gratifying
character. It is shown that tiie value of
property has increased from $225,098,-
419 in 1879, to $327,803,331 in 1889.
being an increase of $102,769,912 in ten
years. This is independent of the rail
road property, whicli Ims increased in the
same time from $9,836,129 to $29,304,-
127, an increase of $19,437,998, or 212
per cent., making an aggregate increase
of all taxable property iu tiie state in ten
years of $122,207,910, or 53 per cent.
Ihe percentage of increase iu tiie chief
items is also sn interesting study. In
ten years the value of improved land Ims
increased 29 per cent., city and town
property 73, live stock 22, farming im
plements 09, cotton manufactories 393,
mining investments 102, banking stuck
61, and iron works 91 per cent.

Coltce Adulterations.
Twenty four samples of ground coffee
were bought by the New Jersey officials
whose duty it is to detect food adulter- i
ations, the agents going into the stores ,
asking for ground coffee and paying the
rtgular price; sixteen of these were adul- ;
terated nnd eight were pure. The adul
terations were roasted and ground peas,
ami chicory, which, of course,
being largely used by the people them
selves, is not always added fraudulently;
ground rye and ground wheat. In one
case they found cocoanut shell. One
sample of coffee was examined which
contained no coffee at all. It was burnt
molasses and some Indian corn ground.
North Carolina is taking effective
measures for the largest development of

with their value that he has resigned liis
